Summary: God knows the Truth

Do you remember the game show from years ago called "Truth or Consequences?" What about the show "To tell the Truth?"’ The first was a game show based on telling the truth about a particular thing in your life or face a somewhat humorous consequence, and the other was based on convincingly telling a series of lies to a panel of judges in order to fool them about your identity. I believe this is very similar to life and the way we live in America. And living this way is a very poor illustration of Christians. But it is a real picture. And if you were to put the two games together you would have "Me Truth or the Consequences." Galatians 6, "...Be not deceived; God Is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. ft

Be not deceived (two fold meaning)

1. Don’t be fooled by the world and what the world has to offer. (False teachings and religions, sin and worldly things) Have you ever been deceived by someone who hard a certain appearance (rich or important) What about commercials on TV (Cigarettes, alcohol) Things aren’t what they seemed You see we @ we can do whatever we want. As long as it feels good do it.

2. Also, don’t be fooled or misled thinking we can mock God. We can’t run from Him or hide from Him. We can ignore Him but the results of this will be destruction.

Mock-to - turn up the nose or sneer at or literally to thumb of noses at Him and say get out we don’t need you. We’re tired of you trying to run our lives.

Buy doing this

1 . We are deceived as a people. What will it take to realize that God is in control? Judgement! We think that we are in control, it’s our way or the highway, we’ll do what we want to do, and we don’t need you even if we are wrong as long as no one tells us what to do. People don¡¦t to be ruled but realize this- we can do nothing apart from God. God is in control! He¡¦s All Powerful! (Creation in Genesis, time, force, motion, space and matter)

2. As a Nation,

we don’t and most times won¡¦t stand up for anything that is right. I can’t understand it. History tells us this is supposed to be a Godly nation, founded on Biblical principles. Oh really! The one thing we learn from history is we don’t learn from history. I am a patriot but I’m Christian first. We’re supposed to stand up for what is right. We need to take a good look at where this country is headed.
